[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeBrWade:
I posted this in the CM7 thread in dev but I am not getting any responses so, perhaps I will get more luck here:

Ok guys I posted this before and didn't get a response and it just happened again. My wife was using CM7 RC1 and her phone froze and forced a reboot. When it came back up her sdcard showed unmounted so she remounted it was unrecognized. I took it out and put it in a reader in my linux computer and ran all sorts of tests and repair programs nada. It was dead as a door nail.

Now this was the default one that came with it so I thought, eh well she has had it for 9 months or so maybe it was a fluke. So I gave her mine, and bought a nice LX series 16GB class 10. I was getting ~16MBps writes and 19MBps reads it was great.

Then just a moment ago i was playing angry birds rio, and it froze and rebooted. Guess what, same thing wouldn't mount and my computer shows it totally hosed it can't be reformated or anything. What is going on that's now 2 sd cards dead both while using CM7 withing a couple of weeks of each other. I searched "sdcard" "sdcard fail" etc etc on this thread and came up with nothing.

I have found things like this:http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1...d-but-not-rly/

Which seem to state that rebooting etc will fix it but no dice. I can't even get any info from gparted or df about it. What is going on? That second card wasn't cheap, and I only had it about 7 days before this happen!

This doesn't work btw http://xdaforums.com/show...03&postcount=2

dmesg is giving me this:

Nada with fdisk -l, lsusb turns up nothing, but lsscsi gives me this:

Showing the reader is at least TRYING to read the card but its having no luck I tested my wife's card and the exact same results. Something is knocking out these SDcards, and this one is only a few (7) days old.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I'm sorry, Mike, but I haven't experienced anything like that and I've tested a boatload of roms, kernels, etcetera. I did notice that when I initially flashed Cyangenmod 7, I did get an SD card error in the notification panel, however, other users stated that all I needed to do was delete the LOST_DIR folder. I did and all was well. I've since flashed Nightlies 29 & 30 without any problems or errors with the SD card and I have a technically slow Class 2 16GB MicroSD card.

Mike,

I have the same issue on my Gtab. I installed CM7 and now I can't "find" my SD card... I am trying to figure this out.... it's annoying. Let me know if you have any luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeBrWade:
Nope. Had to buy a new card. Hasn't happened since. I will give CM the benifit of the doubt and perhaps that was just two bad SD cards.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sincitymike:
Not running CM7, but just lost my LX 32GB card the same way, 2 days ago. I was depending on the card way too much, and lost about 4 months of pics/videos, etc. It was only half full, but should be backing up to my computer more often! Put the old 8GB back in, wiped, reloaded stock OTA rooted ROM. All good for now. Bought a 16GB card, gonna try again.

I use bedside (night clock) from the market, its alot cheaper than the other ones. You can customize it to just silent when you plug the charger in, or it can silent and come up with a night time clock, like the bedside mode blackberry has, which is why I chose it... it has alot of options, and its only 1.79...give it a shot. Im too new to post a link, just search bedside mode in the market, it has a pic of a white bed on a black background
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmclaren:
I have a GTab runn Vegan 5.1 and it runs great. The one issue that I have is that my Wifi gets disabled each night when it goes to sleep. When I say "disabled" I do not mean this it disconnect, but rather that something is actually putting it into a "Disabled" state and I must select the connection and choose to enable it.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be doing this? I have dug through every setting I can think of and also looked at any apps that might be doing this. I even went so far as to remove all my battery saving apps, but no dice.

Any suggestions?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmclaren:
Still getting Wifi disabled...

Have the sleep policy set at never and this does not change anything. From what I understand this setting will disconnect wifi when the device goes to sleep. In my case the connection is not disconnected but rather completely disabled. So it seems that there is some other thing disabling the connection.

So, to give a bit more info here, I have installed wifi keep alive to try and save the connection. This keeps the wifi from being disabled when it is plugged in, but it still gets disabled when it sleeps and is also unplugged. (I.e. on battery and sleeping)

So, I am starting to think that the setting that fixes the problem while pluggedin is settings / applications / development / stay awake. I have this turned on and it seems that with stay awake and the wifi keep alive I am good when plugged in.

So, does anyone have thoughts for a similar setting when on battery power?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterColdSoul:
I can't help to much with battery power since I almost always have mine plugged in.

It's odd that not helping you, once I made that chance I stopped having my Wifi turn itself off (not sleep, off, and the tablet would need to be reset a lot).

Sorry that wasn't much help.

If you notice other weird stuff happening in the future you may need to repartition your internal memory. Mine started with similar flubs and progressed to never remembering logins online. I had to login to xda every time I turned my device back on. Keep this in mind, about 30% of people need to reformat.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magqccom:
For what its worth, might help to set a fixed IP address. I often got a problem with Wifi not being able to reconnect because it got stuck on "getting an IP address" and failed to do so. I seem to remember it disabled the connexion to that AP after too many tries on my Nexus One.

On my g tablet, I was having what seemed to be the same problem, so I did the same thing and it seems stable since. Granted I didn't toy with it as much as I did on the N1, but I wouldn't be supprised if it were a general Android problem.

Anyways, its free to try.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasserkapf:
The wireless uses a lot of power. When the tablet "sleeps", it should go into a power saving mode. Disabling the wireless is a feature, not a bug.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archangel:
Either way how can I keep the wifi signal on so when i wake my g tab up the wifi is ready to go and does not have to reconnect?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oleksiyy:
I am not sure, but it seems to me that downloaded apps can play with wifi this way, as long as they have rights to "access internet, modify and bla-bla-bla".

I am having same problem after sleep. And it was not present from the beginning. It may starts after I upload some app. I will play with this after coming back home.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archangel:
yes please let us know thank you!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
When my tablet is plugged in and it goes to sleep, the Wifi also disconnects, so I don't think this is a feature any more than the screen angle issue is a "privacy feature." :) I've never had an Android device that powered down connectivity when the screen goes off, that totally negates the notification features. You basically have a comatose tablet after a few minutes of the screen being off.

I don't think the Xoom or Galaxy Tab have this problem, so there's definitely an issue. Sadly, I might be sending mine back to TigerDirect as faulty because of this.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeljc70:
I have this problem too. As others have said, the problem isnt that the wifi turns off when the tablet sleeps. The problem is the last connected access point gets disabled so when you wake, you have to go into settings and tell it to connect again.

In my case, it happens most of the time, but not always. My Android phone doesnt have this problem.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
I did a factory reset, then used nvFlash to restore, and then did a fresh install of Vegan (thought it did the same on every other 2.2 ROM I tried). I didn't install any apps, and the problem still occurs. Tried using Wifi Fixer, and the problem still occurs (though on the bright side, it does reconnect about 10 seconds or so after waking).

I'm out of ideas. I hate to send this thing back because it's the most fun piece of tech I've had in years, but a comatose Android device is a dealbreaker :( Going to try a GB ROM, and then I give up.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuvDog:
I've got the same kind of issue. I lose my PSA key in my wireless settings every time and have to re-enter it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
I installed the Vegan GB ROM (along with pershoot's kernel), and the wifi stays on if you choose "Never" for wifi sleep (you have to hit the menu button and choose "Advanced" when you're in the wifi settings). Only problem is, the GB ROMs, while zippy, are a little raw right now, and my Launcher Pro GMail widget doesn't work :(

I'm going to try one of the 2.2 ROMs again today along with pershoot's Froyo kernel to see if it makes a difference.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Ok, YMMV, but I am using Calkukin's ROM with pershoot's kernel (was using Clemsyn's before), with wifi set to never sleep, and my wifi doesn't sleep any more. I left my phone and tab here at work while I went out for lunch (felt naked ...), and came back about 45 mins later, woke the tab, and wifi was still connected, without that "looks connected, oh the icon is now disconnected, oh it's back again!" bit.

I still receive notifications and email, and widgets update. Guess I'm keeping it :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archangel:
Thanks, i will try this out is there any major diferences between the two roms that you notice other than the no sleep of death for wifi?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
They both appear to be TnT-based, so you won't notice much difference on the surface. I think it's the kernel rather than the ROM that is making the difference, so you may be able to use whichever ROM you choose and then install pershoot's kernel. I just prefer the TnT-based ROMs myself (not into pull-down notifications on a tablet, but that's me).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archangel:
So what exactly are you running currently i have Vegan 5.1.1 and would like to try something else that allows the wifi to stay on permently, as well i noticed that my battery drains by over 10 percent during the night time when the tab is sleeping?

Where can i find pershoots kernal?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
This is the ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=985705 (He makes a fine Evo ROM, so I figure he makes a fine gTab ROM as well). Also download the Format All zip.

And this is the kernel: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ (scroll down and download from the "boot-cm_2632.36-xtra-vfp_fp-040511.zip" under Froyo).

In CW, I did a factory reset, then "installed" the format-all zip, installed the ROM, and then installed the kernel.

To test it out, I went into the wifi settings, clicked Advance, set wifi to never sleep, and then pressed the lock button and left it alone for about 30 minutes. When I woke it up, the wifi indicator was still lit with every bar instead of the yellow alert, and I immediately opened a web page and it loaded (instead of the 10 seconds or so it took before to reconnect). Then I loaded my Titanium Backup backup, let it sit again for 1/2 hour, and then began sending Chrome to Phone links to test whether or not it was receiving notifications.

It may have been overkill and completely unscientific, but all I know is that my problem is solved.

Edit: Almost 8 hours unplugged, battery is at 62% (moderate usage, I'm at work, but wifi doesn't appear to drain much of the battery).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archangel:
Perfect just what i needed to know thank you VERY much for all the info! I will give it a try and let you know, i assume that i can install via clockwork?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Yeah, CW is what I used.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w3ili:
I have a similar problem, so please bear with me.

I'm running VEGAn-TAB Ginger with Pershoot's kernel (2.6.32.38). I have SetCPU running at boot for a 1.4GHz OC.

My problem is that when I first boot on the tablet, the Wifi is disabled. I then have to manually go into Settings to turn it on, upon which it will connect to my network within 3-5 seconds. I do NOT have the sleep issue though; as soon as I turn the Wifi on it remains connected even after sleeping overnight (wireless sleep policy is set to "Never Off").

It's more of a small annoyance at the moment, since I have to turn on the Wifi every time following boot. Any ideas to solve this issue?

EDIT: I NVFlashed from VEGAn-TAB 5.1.1, repartitioned 2048/0, and updated to 3588 before flashing VEGAn-Tab Ginger with CWM.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
Really great phone, coming from a non-smart phone you may not be use to the lesser battery life so I suggest you think about getting an extended battery. This is actually my first smart phone too, it prompted the rest of my family to get droids (lol)

From the reviews I've heard about the TB is that it's not all that's cracked up to be. It's main feature of course is 4G- but many places don't have that coverage yet.

It's also rumored to have significantly less battery than the incredible. It's CPU is very comparable to the incredible's, although the graphics are reported to be a decent upgrade.

If you go with this phone I don't think you will be disappointed. If you root it and run a custom ROM on it, I think you'll love it ;)

Personally I see no need for an upgrade anytime soon. The TB is not a good enough upgrade IMO, and in terms of battery life I see it as a downgrade.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aydreeuhn:
Stock... maybe. But this is a forum full of developers, hackers, and rooters ... and with a rooted Thunderbolt and a nice kernel ... stock battery won't be a big issue...

You need to ask yourself if you will be happy with the phone for the next two years. I had a droid X but took my wifes upgrade to get the INC, this phone rocks!

With dual core phones already coming down the pipe I can't see the TBolt staying a high-end phone for long.

If you don't think that you will have phone envy, get the INC...you will love it. But if you are a complete phone whore like I am, I would suggest waiting for a few more months. Even if you still only have $100 there will be newer phones by then and there is always a deal going on with phones now.
